Compte rendu réunion DIRAC@IN2P3
Jeudi 30 Janvier 2025
Présents :
Ordre du Jour :
- État du Projet
- Projets
- DiracX
- Publications / Conférences
- Consortium news
- AOB
1. État du Projet
- LHCb to pass to DIRAC 9.0 in February-March
- Some clean-ups still to be made in 9.0
- ElasticSearch, RSS are must have
- ARC/ARC6 are not used any more in favour of AREX
- Lots of irreversible database schema changes
- Extensive notes for passing to 9.0: https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/wiki/DIRAC-9.0
- Extensions to be updated
- The DiracX extension mechanism is based on pyproject.toml (static binding)
- Only small portion of the DIRAC functionality passed to DiracX in the first place:
- JobStateUpdate service, may be some more
- Using Legacy adapters for the rest
- DiracX will use only tokens for acces
- DiracX proper tokens, for DiracX access only
- Eventually used for storage access (?? being discussed: see https://indico.cern.ch/event/1443765/contributions/6296532/attachments/2997253/5280923/Tokens_for_DM-250116-v11.pdf)
- Managed by IT Department of CERN
- Building up on the ILC service experience
1.1 Versions :
- DIRAC v8.0.60
-
- NTR
- DIRAC Prerelease v9.0.0a40
-
- Minor fixes
-
- diracx Prerelease v0.0.1a25
1.2 Développements :
- Bild meetings https://demo.hedgedoc.org/UEzgG_9sTlayXBtsoBx6Pg#
- DIRAC/DiracX test/certification setup
- DIRAC 9.0 + DiracX 0.1 k3s
- Configured in Multi-IdP/Multi-VO mode (Check-In/IAM)
- A tool for bulk adding users is to be studied
- Configured with the possibility to easily modify configuration parameters
- Easy to update installed software
- The certify DIRAC/DiracX combo before moving the EGI production setup
- If you want to try it out, do not hesitate
- Multi-host k3s installation is set up and being tested (Bertrand)
- Using multi-host installation
- Using VIP service of OpenStack for loadbalancing access
- A client Check-In for this service is to be created shortly
- Credentials are kept in the Gitlab private repo. A tool to deploy secrets as k3s secrets to be studied.
- For example, ArgoCD, or Gitlab variables
1.3. Services EGI :
- More or less smooth running, moderate activity
- 5 clients of Check-In service are set up: biomed, enmr.eu, auger, km3net.org, complex-systems:
- This is the "final" solution
- Those are using tokens to submit to HTCondorCE's
- Sites are gradually configured to use these tokens
- ARC CEs still use X.509 certificates (wait until ARC7 deployment)
1.4. Européen/Nationaux Projets :
- GreenDIGIT
-
- First reporting period started
- Practical discussions on site metrics and scheduling algorithms
- Joint effort together with LHCb (H.Griemza)
- PEPR STEEL
-
- More focused discussion on the available products for demonstrators
-
- DIRAC presentation to be made shortly
- SpectrumCoP-WP[1,2,3]
2. Projets
2.1 CTAO
- Large representation at the DIRAC-Rucio workshop
- Developments:
- Multiple tasks distributed between the CTAO developers
- Test DiracX setup is in place
- based on Rancher
- CTAO IAM
- CWL integration discussion and strategy definition.
- Proposed to pass the DIRAC installation to a K8s environment - to be discussed.
- Better spend effort into the DIRAC->DiracX migration, may be
2.2 Biomed
- Successful use of the Singularity executable from the DIRAC CVMFS.
- JDL job description can specify: NumberOfProcessors = 2 to ensure that the
- working slot allows multiple cores. The proper site and job description to be checked.
2.3. Juno
- Help with setting up a diracx testbed will be needed.
2.4 Km3NET.org
- NTR
4. Conference, workshop, publications
- DIRAC User's Workshop, 17-20 September 2025, IHEP, Beijing
- JCAD'25 (?)
5. Consortium
- Discussion on a possible CTAO ERIC joining the Consortium
